Earth Hour 2013

Mama gnome invites you to join the gnome family and countless humans who will celebrate Earth Hour 2013.

This Saturday, March 23, 2013, at 8:30 p.m. please turn off your lights and all non-essential appliances for an hour.

Hmmm. What to do for an  hour without power?
How about a romantic candlelit dinner?
How about a rousing game of shadow puppets?
How about letting nature take over like in this video.

Earth Hour 2012

This Saturday, March 31st, starting at 8:30 pm, Mama gnome is looking forward to a romantic candle lit dinner with Daddy gnome, young gnomelets and hopefully millions of humans around the world.

The gnome family are participating in Earth Hour when the gnome house will be quieter, darker, and more peaceful by turning off all the lights and nonessential appliances.

Who turned off the lights? Earth Hour 2010

Mama gnome double checked the calendar.

Yes, right there, a blue circle around March 27th, Saturday. A special night. A date night for Mama gnome.

It's Earth Hour 2010.

Earth Hour is a global event organized by WWF (World Wildlife Fund) and is held on the last Saturday of March annually, asking households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change.

Earth Hour started in Sydney, Australia in 2007.

Please visit EarthHour.org

Mama gnome made plans for Earth Hour 2010.

On March 27th 8:30 pm, the gnome family will switch off all non-essential lights and electrical appliances in the gnome house for one hour to show support for planet Earth.

You may not be aware of this...but Mama gnome has a very uneasy relationship with Computer.

Computer likes to play mind games. Mama gnome recounts a painful experience about printing pictures and Computer chose to be difficult and there was a gnome-Computer stand off moment.

There has been an uneasy truce between Mama gnome and Computer since then.

So for Earth Hour, Computer will be turned off.

Daddy gnome will not have access to his precious computer for an hour.

Pardon Mama gnome while she laughs like a crazy lady. Bwahahahaha! Bwahahahaha!

Ehemm...ehemmm... Mama gnome fixes her slightly askew hat.

So what are Mama gnome's plans for Earth Hour 2010 at 8:30 pm when she will have Daddy gnome to herself with Computer safely turned off?

Lots of candles strategically placed around the gnome house and

home cooked dinner on Mama gnome's aga stove.

On the menu: vegetarian meatloaf and peach cobbler.

Daddy gnome might just forget about that Computer even longer than an hour.

Maybe Daddy gnome might end up like this human in the video. Toggle the light switch on and off and watch the dramatic changes.
